Simple colored pins with notes on scenes. Adds a Scene Notes tool to the left-hand controls bar.
🆕 What's new in 1.5.0
- 8 new pin icons (now 96 in total): cave entrance, village, windmill, water well, signpost, tombstone, torch, and danger sign — filling common map markers for settlements, landmarks, travel and hazards.
✨ Highlights
- Colored pins in any color (8 presets + free color picker) with an optional caption under the pin.
- 96 fantasy icons from game-icons.net, each recolored to the pin's color (or use the classic marker).
- Detailed descriptions — click a pin from any layer to read its note; supports document links (
@UUID[...]). - Per-pin visibility — everyone or author & GM only (hidden pins show semi-transparent to the author and GM).
- Drag to reposition — available to the pin's author and the GM while the notes tool is active.
- No GM required — players place, edit and delete their own pins even with no GM online; pins live in the author's own User flags.
- GM tools — edit/delete any pin, plus "Delete all pins" to clear a scene.
